IkE 267 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 So after the goal the last year vs Barcelona, you where thinking: Oh my god this guy is stupid...Hate opportunist people, that always point the mistakes but not the brightness. He is all passion, if we would have a couple of players more like him, we won't be in this last-minute situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IkE 267 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 No, but I'm thinking that now.Cos he got sent off? I don't think that is a normal reason to think on him in that way, not sir. He always been there for the team fighting hard, I really appreciated people like him, if players like Torres would fight the half that Rambo does... we wouldn't look for a new striker.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Beast of a player, but in some aspects like passing, ball control, he hasnt improved much. And that is biggest problem with him. If we ever want to be possession team, he wont cut in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo 28 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 If your going to criticize him, it should be for his terrible passing range and ability....However, not his engine and aggression Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I thought his second yellow was harsh, but as the referee was consistent over the course of the game and also awarded a second yellow to Cunteke for drop-kicking Terry, I'll have no complaints.

Blue Armour 4,448 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Sometimes I wonder whether a manager can see anything at all from the touchlines...From the moment he got his first yellow, you could tell Ramires was frustrated and was on course for a second booking. Its in instances like these where some sound advice from the manager can prevent further damage... Stats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 The club organized a Q&A session with fans through Twitter to communicate with Ramires.He was asked this question about his favorite position...Dan Cooper @danielwcooper#RamiQandA You've been played in nearly every position on the pitch, but where do you feel you are at your best? And he replied... Chelsea FC @chelseafc .@danielwcooper Rami: In the middle, as the 2nd midfielder, who is more free to attack as well as defend. #RamiQandA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 So he rather plays alongside Mikel than Lampard.Think Ramires meant himself playing in a role that allows him to bomb forward as well, not just defend. Henrique 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season when he has played besides Mikel he has always bombed forward rather then when he has played alongside Frank where he is the Anchor man needing to protect the midfield when Frank goes forward.

And that could meant him playing as 1 of the 2 midfielders in a 3 men midfield in a 4-3-3 as opposed to 1 of the 2 in a pivot. At Benfica, he has always played as a right shuttler midfielder in their diamond midfield IIRC. And most of his better games for us in past years have come when he plays in a 4-3-3.

The only issue, like others have said is that Hazard and Mata will be pushed out further wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 It makes a lot of sense to play Oscar and Ramires along with someone like Luiz or Mikel in a 4-3-3. The only issue, like others have said is that Hazard and Mata will be pushed out further wide.which is surely no problem for Hazard. Anyway also in a 4-2-3-1 it is Oscar who has to play on the right wing, which is not his position, so somenone is victim anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 The issue with 4-3-3 has always been Mata. He's no where near effective there. But 4-3-3 would definitely suit Rami and Mikel much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you guys from Brazil consider Luiz good enough for your starting 11? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
